Every Captain Thinking™ activity, pack, or toolkit is built on six Shields. Together, they form the Armoury. Practical tools that protect against manipulation, build resilience, and strengthen decision-making:

• Clarity - Ask better questions. See through the noise.
   
• Choice - You can’t control events, but you can control your response.
   
• Awareness - Spot the hidden push before it pushes you.
   
• Humour - Laugh at the absurd. Shrink its power.
   
• Vision - See what others miss. Notice the unseen.
   
• Experience - Mistakes aren’t failures. They’re practice runs for wisdom.
   

Each Shield has 5 tools inside it. That’s 30 practical ways to train stronger thinking.

Shields are built from insights in psychology, education, and decision science, then stripped of jargon. They are simple enough for children, flexible enough for families, and powerful enough for professionals.

As a parent and as an airline Captain, I’ve seen how clarity under pressure changes everything. Shields make that clarity available to everyone.

Q: Do I need training to use Shields?

No. Shields are designed to be picked up and used straight away - whether you’re a teacher, parent, or community volunteer.

Q: What ages are Shields for?

They start from Key Stage 1 (ages 5–7) and scale up through older children, families, and even adult learners.

Q: Is this a full curriculum or an add-on?

Both. Schools can run Shields as a full programme or drop activities into existing lessons. Families and communities can use them as stand-alone tools.

Q: Can I try before I buy?

Yes - you can download a free sample Shield and activity today.

Every Shield purchased supports a generation in building resilience, reflection, and better decision making.

Captain Thinking™ shields don’t change the world around you. They change how ready you are to move through it - with clarity, calm, and confidence.
